FINGER-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,751, dated March15,-1 892. Application filed February 6, 1892. Serial No. 420,568. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. FINK, of New York city, New York, haveinvented an Innproved Finger-Ring, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to that class of finger-rings known asinitial-rings, and more particularly to the manner of fastening theinitial to the box. I

It consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointedout in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a cross-section of my improvedfinger-ring; Fig.2, a longitudinal section thereof; and Fi g. 3, asection on line a; 00, Fig. 2.

The letter a represents the box of a fingerriug, into which there isplaced a base-plate b. This base-plate has a central slot with roundededges 2). At these edges grooves b are cut into the base-plate for thereception of a ring 0. This ring has disconnected ends, so that it Willopen to a slight extent under outward pressure and close after thecessation of such pressure.

Upon the plate I) there is placed the onyx d, that carries the initial6. This initial is provided with two downwardly-projectinghooks e, thatpass through perforations of the onyx and engage the inner edge of thering 0.

down so that the hooks grasp the ring the initial is fastened in place,while by forcibly drawing the initial up the hooks will release theirhold on the ring. Thus a simple, neat, and effective fastening isformed. To prevent the, ring 0 from shifting, I form a pin b on theplate I), that enters between the open ends of the ring.

That I claim is 1. The cohibination of box a with a ring 0, securedwithin the same, and an initial having hooks that engage said ring,substantially as specified.

2. The combination of box a with slotted plate b, an open ring 0, heldthereby, and an initial having hooks that engage said ring,substantially as specified.

3. The combination of box a With open ring 0, a slotted plate I), havingpin b that enters initial having hooks that engage the ring,substantially as specified.
